How to Write a Syllogism Write the conclusion you seek to prove, and place “Therefore” in front of it. Then compose two or more premises that support the conclusion, each of them beginning with “Because.” Make each premise as strong and valid as possible. Place them in front of the conclusion. Now you have a syllogism: Because -----, and because -----, therefore -----. How good your syllogism is depends on how strong the premises are, and whether the conclusion reasonably follows from both the premises.
